These unique riverside gardens have been offering visitors
a tranquil setting to view the River Derwent for over 100 years.
Located within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site
adjacent to Strutt's historic North Mill the riverside promenade
allows flat easy access to the gardens and riverside.
The beautiful gardens include shrubberies and colourful
flowerbeds together with a central bandstand. A new
featured play area offers children play facilities inspired by the
history of Belper and the cotton mill industry of the world
heritage site.
Rowing boats may be hired in the
summer to take a trip along nearly three miles of the river and
catch sight of a variety of bird life. To book a rowing boat or
pedalo, please call 02045420902 or book online at
